A Message from the President/CEO . . .
Greetings and welcome to this new quarter of penetrating and uplifting study of God’s Word. Easter is an appropriate place to begin a new quarter, as it marks our central reason for celebration—Jesus is risen! By keeping Jesus at the center of our material, we continue our pursuit of excellence in quality and doctrinal truth. For 119 years, we have striven to fulfill the vision of our founder, Dr. R. H. Boyd, to provide you with the best literature for the African-American church.
In this quarter, we continue to focus on various Kingdom matters that were introduced in the previous quarter. These issues are still vitally important for the Church today. In the first five weeks, we will look at The Community of the Beloved Disciple.
The lessons in this unit come from 1 Corinthians and two of John’s letters. In them, we focus on the community as being composed of those people who believe in Christ and His resurrection and who experience God’s love for us and our love for one another.
Next, we will turn to One in the Bond of Love,
drawn primarily from 1 Corinthians. Paul’s letter called the Corinthians to unity in love. That call is still relevant today in a culture that, very much like Corinth, is preoccupied with individual achievement and fulfillment, oftentimes to the detriment of others.
Finally, in June, we transition to Amos Rails Against Injustice.
What was true for Israel in Amos’ day is still true for us today: God calls His people to be people who seek justice, not those who wait and watch or even participate in injustice themselves! These lessons emphasize God’s attention to His people and His high calling to us.
All glory and honor to God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—for the blessing of the Word. May He bless you in your studies this quarter.
In His Service,
Dr. T. B. Boyd III
President/CEO
This quarter has two units tracing God’s work through the Spirit to empower disciples for the Christian faith. The last quarter discusses justice and injustice.
UNIT I — APRIL
Unit I, The Community of the Beloved Disciple,
has four lessons. These lessons consider portions of letters written by Paul and John. The first lesson on Easter focuses on Jesus’ resurrection as the center of our hope and faith. The second lesson focuses on the command to love one another while the third shifts the focus to God’s love for us. The fourth lesson admonishes us to beware of any who preach good news of anything other than Jesus.
UNIT II — MAY
Unit II, One in the Bond of Love,
is a five-lesson study done primarily out of 1 Corinthians with insight from Acts. It is an especially appropriate unit for American believers, whose culture is so much like that of Corinth in Paul’s day. The lessons center on what unifies believers. Lesson five concludes our study of John’s letters. Lesson six discusses the gifts of the Spirit for believers while lesson seven reminds us that unity is through the Spirit, not through any human effort. Lesson eight considers the gift of languages. Lesson nine closes the unit by teaching on the
